One thing I do agree with Mikey is that I do not understand why BCCI did not agree to use Hawkeye excluding the ball predictor. Also I did not appreciate his comment about Sunny's 236 in Madras. He basically saved the match and was a standout player in that series. Indian team was a shyte team compared to the might WI at that time. And what is this fascination with Lara, I just do not get it. True he is a great batsman, but his exagerated movement before hitting the ball always turned me off. Sachin is more complete batsman, IMO.

Michael Holding on India, the DRS and leaving the ICC Cricket Committee 9uvdpv326A4 Michael Holding criticises India's stance towards the DRS and describes the circumstances behind him leaving the ICC Cricket Committee.

Don't think he said anything wrong. Though he did not complain before when the ECB and ACB were in charge. The comparison between Brazil's and India's influence on a sport is not even a valid one. India is the major financier of cricket. Brazil was never a major financier of soccer. Big difference.

Michael Holding is kicking future business opportunities out of the window by cosntantly needling the BCCI. He needs to learn to be diplomatic and choose his words.

Stupid MCC crowd. Keep Applauding for everything. Imagine what would have happened if he spoke that in India. Stones,tomatoes and rotten eggs would have been thrown at him.

Observation:Each time he said anything against India crowd cheered louder. We is da most hatez one :haha: Sorry. You scratch my back I scratch, It reminds me about 17-18 years back Gavaskar was saying something similar on ICC world cup bidding process. But only on indian doordarshan. Where were you at the time Mr Holding?

Sounds like imperialism is still alive and kicking. Holding of all is sucking up to England and making very loose comments to win some applause. I think he reckons he's far too valuable and living life far away from his birth place has cut him off from reality I suppose. Irrespective it sounds though as if he was speaking solely to please a few pommies and every time BCCI was criticised there were enough to encourage him. Meanwhile, India moves along winning the world cup, claiming the no.1 spot in test cricket and so forth. India should just concentrate on its cricket while the likes of Holding can continue to make hate speeches to win some applause. Mark Nicholas as usual was spurring Holding into giving the MCC members something to cheer about. Something doesn't quite sound right about Mark, he comes across as a **** stirrer.

Ravi, being popular and important ( like India ) is never easy, so we will find such strong opinionated people everywhere. Take India and its finances out, wonder where the game would stand? Problem with these solo shows is that there is no rebuttal so might as well be a stand up comedy
